The HVC Selección No. 1 Maduro marks a turning point—Reinier Lorenzo’s first release from his own Estelí factory. Built to be bold yet balanced, it’s a cigar that bridges pressure and precision. It reminds us that starting from new ground can still honor roots.
This isn’t a casual grab—it’s a deliberate choice. You light it when you're ready for intensity wrapped in well-tuned depth. The smoke doesn’t hide—it asserts. But there’s thought behind every puff, a trace of Estelí’s terroir beneath the pepper. This is craftsmanship wearing conviction. In Privada, it holds space for that particular moment when legacy evolves.
First third: Opens with bold black coffee and oak. Earthy cedar and dark cocoa hover beneath, with roasted nuts and steady black pepper emerging on the retrohale
Mid-smoke: Oak and coffee shift in intensity. Cedar grows richer; pepper deepens as dark cocoa remains in the background . Mineral-rich earth balances roasted nut sweetness
Final third: Oak and cedar lead. Earth expands while coffee retreats. Pepper and mineral notes carry the finish; a cool, lingering nub caps the experience .
Construction and burn are consistently excellent: straight burn line, firm ash, and solid draw
Strength starts medium-full, rising to full in the second and third thirds—very few cigars hit this level
Body stays medium-full throughout, delivering complexity without harshness .
Because Privada respects cigars with vision and presence. The Selección No. 1 Maduro isn’t safe—it’s considered. It delivers strength without excess, tradition without complacency, flavor without sacrifice. It’s for the smoker who appreciates narrative as much as nuance.
